JMSN also operates his own studio, White Room Records, and has worked with the the likes ofThe Game, J. Cole, Tyga and Ab-Soul. JMSN released his second, self-titled album in December.

A portion of the day's in-store and online proceeds will go to New Orleans charities Tipitina’s Foundation and the New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic. Tipitina’s Foundation seeks to preserve Louisiana and New Orleans’ musical heritage, while New Orleans Musicians’ Clinic is dedicated to providing affordable healthcare to New Orleans musicians. New Orleans continues to recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, one of the costliest and deadliest natural disasters in U.S. history, and at Amoeba we're dedicated to continuing to do our part to help, including raising $1,000 for the New Orleans organizations at our recent charity auction Feb. 7.

Fat Tuesday in Christian tradition takes place the day before Ash Wednesday, when you’re supposed to feast and drink and be merry before the penintential season of Lent, leading up to Easter Sunday. Since then it’s also become a global celebration from Brazil to Senegal, full of costumes, festivities, parades and general decadence. Read about the Mardi Gras Indians here at the Amoeblog.

Horrorcore rap duo Insane Clown Posse have had a long, storied career, including public feuds with Eminem, a lawsuit against the FBI, and an album recalled by Disney the day after it was released. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, ICP have built an empire around hip hop music and clown face paint. With a loyal fan base (referred to as Juggalos) in the hundreds of thoudands, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have managed to earn platinum and gold albums with little to no help from major labels. Heavily criticized for their obscene content and their emphasis on shock value, writers from just about every major music outlet have taken shots at ICP.

Love them or hate them, one thing is for sure, Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope mean business. They have founded a professional wrestling federation (Juggalo Championship Wrestling), an annual music festival (The Gathering of the Juggalos), a record label (Psychopathic Records) which reportedly rakes in upwards of $10 million in annual revenue, and The Lotus Pod recording studio. They have also executive produced several feature films. Not bad for a couple of clowns. They have two forthcoming albums, The Missing Link: Lost and The Missing Link: Found, the first of which will be released via Psychopathic Records this Spring.
